SCAD Finally Comes Through for Once!

So I found out last night that my roommate is sick, and has been extremely sick for the last couple weeks now. She's missed classes and mid term week, and just everything. Its been just as grueling for her as it has been for me, and I've just been trying to figure out what was wrong with her! But that's a whole other story in and of itself. Lol

So anyway, I found out she was sick, so I decided to take her to the doctor. However, there was one downfall to that. Everything at SCAD except the supply store, and the cafeteria are closed on weekends. One of the first things I learned at SCAD as a freshman was that you don't get sick at SCAD on the weekend. Otherwise you're just S.O.L.

And I'll admit, I didn't wanna take her to the doc but at the same time I did. I didn't wanna use the gas, I didn't wanna drive HELLA far to the ER, and I didn't wanna go for the thousandth time to the doctor for someone else and wait for hours for a diagnosis that isn't even for me, like I've been doing the last couple of weeks. But on the flipside, my roommate was really sick and I'm not a heartless person, and her being sick was creating a number of issues for the environment we share together. I wanted her to be herself again. The roommate that was chill enough to live with. Be right now... Right now.... WOW. That's all I can say for this blog right now. The details of hell are for another blog. Lol

So, back to the story: (sorry as I tend to ramble a lot. Especially when writing. Lol)

So I resolved to call SCAD and figure out how I can avoid using my gas and all that, but still keep my promise to my roommate and not come off like a selfish person or something. Because that is not who or what I was trying or wanted to be. So after a number of failed calls due to it being a saturday at noon, I finally got directed to SCAD security of all places, who called the RD (resident director) on duty who in turn called me, and got all of our information, and told me she would call a cab, pay for it, and have them take us to UrgentOne, which is a walk-in clinic in connection to SCAD. I was ecstatic! The only thing I would have to do is ride and wait, and then ride again. I could take having to wait, without all the extra stuff, and I didn't mind if it meant that things would get better for everyone involved overall.

I'm just surprised and super happy that for once, SCAD came through for its students. Lol my faith has been restored!

Stay up!

20 years and counting...

I am no longer a teenager. Lol I've finally joined all of my friends at being a 20-something.
Friday, October 3rd was my birthday, and I wanted to celebrate by doing something I've never done before. What did we come up with?
Shooting off a gun. It was the most invigorating experience ever. It was also slightly addicting, yet sooo relaxing. All the tension I had ever built up in my entire life, all the stress from working nonstop here at SCAD, being frustrated that I haven't been able to keep up with my workouts and that my progress is slipping away, all left me that day. All the weight from my shoulders.
I suggest that everyone when feeling stressed, go to the range and fire off a few rounds. There's no other therapy like it. But keep it only at the range people. In the range, with a paper target, and that's it! I don't wanna hear about anyone going postal and then blaming my blog entry for it. Guns are no joke.

(That was cheesy and what not, but it had to be said. Lol)

Since then I've been back to my stressful, work-filled weeks. Midterms are next week, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be sleepless. Just pray for me everyone. I'm gonna need it.

I'm having such a hard time maintaining this new life I've created for myself over the summer. I want to continue to be healthy, focused, and organized like I was this summer... So far I've only managed to be organized. I've been unusually on top of my classes. I like that part. Usually by now my social scene would have gotten the best of me a couple times and I'd be struggling to catch up. So that's the one thing I'm proud of... Now if only I can get everything else back.

That is my goal.

Finally An Update...

Hello All.

I'm back. I've been slacking, I know. But its all been due to school.
I've been so unbelievably busy with my classes, that no matter how hard I would try to clear time to blog, something else would just pop up in my way.

However, I must say that this quarter has been thoroughly enjoyable. My classes are amazing and pretty soon I'll be putting up some of my artwork.

I'm pretty sure that from this point on, I'll finally be at a place where I can be back to my usual self and updating and posting things on the regular.

So look for me and my blog. I hope you all haven't forgotten about me.
